“The Gwanwyn festival from Age Cymru and Galeri Caernarfon have a long established tradition of encouraging older people to enjoy the arts.

“Art can inspire, help us to discover ourselves and give us the freedom to express ourselves in ways that nothing else can do.

“Very many older people feel overlooked and undervalued by society and Galeri Caernarfon is to be commended for this innovative and exciting project.

“What better way of exploring and tackling this feeling of cultural and social invisibility than seeing older people taking part in a dance performance at one of the biggest cultural festivals in Europe?”

Mari Emlyn and Cai Tomos will be speaking about the ‘Anwel’ project at Caffi’r Theatrau at 2.00pm on Monday 5 August.

‘Anwel‘ has been sponsored by the Arts Council of Wales, the Welsh Government and Gwynedd Council.
